service yesterday told his audience that he's been
abandoned by people who he once considered friends.
He said despite this, he is a fulfilled man and will
continue to give his best to Nigeria.
"As long as live, I will continue to do my best for the
state because it has helped me as a person. I have to
thank Nigerians especially my state for giving me
the opportunity to serve as deputy governor,
governor and the whole country gave me the
opportunity to serve as Vice President and then
President, first was to complete the tenure of the
late President Umaru Yar'Adua and later serve as
President from which I am exiting now as a very
happy and fulfilled man".
"When I look at the whole picture of my life up to
when I became the President of this country, and I
say that if soldiers and police officers that have not
received 0. 5 per cent of the benefits that I have
received from the state can lay their lives for this
country, I should do anything in the interest of
Nigeria including paying the supreme price."
Jonathan said he wasn't surprised that friends and
associates have abandoned him, since losing the
election and he expects worst things to happen in
future. He said those that benefited most from his
government were same people crucifying him today
but he wasn't phased by it.
He thanked his ministers for having served him well
and wished them the best in future endeavours.
"To my ministers, I wish you what I wish myself.
They will have hard times, we will all have hard
times. Our ways will be rough."
But we are happy the ordinary people appreciate
what we did and that is the most important. It's not
what the elite or the privileged few talk or say
about you but what the majority of the Nigerian
public think about your actions and inactions that
matter.
"Like the Primate said, we came to Abuja peacefully
and we are returning peacefully. "I thank the church
and Nigerians because they stood by us at our most
difficult times.
